Using Blank CD, DVD, and BD Media
CD-writable drives can only write to CD recording media. DVD-writable drives can write to both CD and DVD recording media. BD-writable drives can write to
CD, DVD and BD recording media.
Use blank CD-Rs to record music or permanently store data files. After creating a CD-R, you cannot write to that CD-R again (see the Sonic documentation for
more information). Use blank CD-RWs if you plan to erase, rewrite, or update information on that disc later.
Blank DVD+/-R or BD-R media can be used to permanently store large amounts of information. After you create a DVD+/-R or BD-R, you cannot write to that
disc again if the disc is "finalized" or "closed" during the final stage of the disc creation process. Use blank DVD+/-RW or BD-RE media if you plan to erase,
rewrite, or update information on that disc later.

Helpful Tips
lUse Microsoft Windows Explorer to drag and drop files to a CD-R or CD-RW only after you start Roxio Creator and open a Creator project.
lDo not burn a blank CD-R or CD-RW to its maximum capacity; for example, do not copy a 650-MB file to a blank 650-MB CD. The CD-RW drive needs 1–2
MB of the blank space to finalize the recording.
lUse CD-Rs to burn music CDs that you want to play in regular stereos. CD-RWs do not play in most home or car stereos.
